Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, taking into account its location within the Upper Norwood Triangle Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 72 Westow Hill and 17 St Aubyn's Road in respect of outlook and daylight
- whether the future occupiers of the proposed development would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions, in respect of external amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions and failure to provide adequate external amenity space for future occupiers, outweighed the modest housing benefit.
